Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
 
On September 12, 2013, the Board of Director of Uroplasty, Inc. determined that Nancy A. Kolb, Vice President of Global Marketing, was no longer an executive officer of Uroplasty due to her new reporting relationship within Uroplasty and no longer performing policy making functions.  Further, Ms. Kolb’s employment with Uroplasty ended on March 31, 2014, and in connection therewith Uroplasty and Ms. Kolb entered into a separation agreement and release of claims.  The separation agreement provides for the following, among other things:
 
· cash severance payments by Uroplasty to Ms. Kolb in an aggregate amount equal to $140,000, which is equal to eight months of her annual base salary, paid in accordance with Uroplasty’s prevailing payroll practices, in the form of salary continuation over eight months;
 
· payment of the bonus that would accrue for Uroplasty’s fiscal year ended March 31, 2014;
 
· additional cash payment in the amount of $16,984 reflecting the value of 5,131 shares of restricted stock held by Ms. Kolb and scheduled to vest in June 2014; and
 
· if timely elected, payment of COBRA continuation coverage premiums for eight months.
 
The foregoing description of the separation agreement and release of claims with Ms. Kolb is a summary of the material terms of such agreement, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and are incorporated herein by reference.
 
On October 1, 2013, Larry Heinemann, former Vice President of Corporate Development of Uroplasty, Inc., assumed the position of Regional Sales Director, a non-executive officer position of Uroplasty.
